Itacho

Dining Companion: Christina A
Date: 6-3-09

It has been years since I've been to Itacho.  Literally, years.  We had a coupon through Cozmodeck so, as girls on a budget, we grabbed it!

The menu contains some sushi but it is heavier on the cooked items.  We decided to get a variety and order from both sections.

Christina and I shared the following:
-miso soup (eh)
-spicy yellowtail on crispy rice (yum)
-salmon skin roll (good)
-spicy tuna roll (good)
-shrimp tempura roll (pretty good)
-goma ae (an amazing cold spinach with sesame sauce and sesame seed; so creamy and nutty!)
-sauteed garlic sprout with ground pork (garlic sprouts are very similar to green beans; lightly charred and delicious!  but hard to eat the ground up bits of pork with chopsticks!!)

Even without the coupon, it was very reasonably priced.  It was $52 for the above and sodas.  Service was good- nothing special, nothing bad.  We made our reservation through OpenTable so it was very easy.  

Valet is located in the back, $4.50, enter on Pointsettia.

7311 Beverly Blvd.
